Wilson (lower body) missed practice Monday and remains day-to-day.Wilson suffered a lower-body injury in practice last Thursday, and hasn't returned to the ice since. He's still considered day-to-day, but will likely return to practice before rejoining the lineup.

The Preds have been patient with Colin Wilson, who they selected seventh overall in the 2008 draft. Since then, he has shown glimpses of becoming a breakout player in the NHL, but so far has failed to put it all together. Wilson has always left the Preds -- and fantasy owners -- wanting more after registering 33, 35 and 34 points in three of the last four full seasons, along with 19 points in 25 games during the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season. This season, he will be part of a significantly revamped Preds lineup, given the offseason acquisitions of James Neal, Mike Ribeiro, Olli Jokinen and Derek Roy. At long last, Wilson may finally have the supporting cast to enable him to get over the proverbial hump. He makes for a very attractive late-round selection in most standard fantasy drafts.
